[3] CHECKING FUEL LEVEL AND REFILLING FUEL IN FUEL TANK
• See “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 6.1 USE OF LUBRICATING OIL ACCORDING TO
TEMPERATURES” for the fuel to be used.
• Be extremely careful with fire such as cigarettes.
• Always stop the engine before refilling fuel. Refilling the fuel when engine is running
may cause leaked fuel to draw fire from hot silencer or other substance.
• Be careful not to let any foreign substance go into the filler opening when refueling.
• Overfilling the fuel results in spillage and is dangerous. Refuel to the level slightly
lower than the specified upper limit level.
Always wipe away cleanly whenever the fuel spills.
• Securely close the tank cap after refuelling.
1. Turn “ON” the starter switch.
2. Looking at the fuel gauge on the monitor panel, check if
the fuel is filled to almost full (around “F”).
3. If there is not enough fuel left, pull up the lock lever (1)
to open the console box R (2).
Remember to set the lock bar (3) so that the console
box R (2) does not fall while refilling oil. If you do not
set the lock bar, your hand may get caught.
4. Remove the tank cap (F) and refuel from the filler
opening while keeping an eye on the fuel gauge.
5. Securely turn and close the tank cap (F) after refilling.
NOTES
Fill the fuel tank to full at the end of the work for the day.
6. When finished, pull down the lock lever (1) and close
the console box R (2).
